Are you ready for some FOOTBALL? I certainly am! Few things make me excited about the Fall season, but football is certainly one of them! As I mentioned in a previous post, my family is a die-hard fan of the sport and we look forward to watching games together and having fun football-filled weekends.
We recently picked up the ALL NEW EA Sports NCAA Football 13 at Walmart for our PS3 video game system. The game launched in stores on July 10th and the kids were oh-so-excited to bring it home! You can see an overview of our entire shopping trip and purchase at Walmart over on my Google+ story here.
The kids and I were excited about heading out for a day of errands and they were freakishly excited about going shopping for a video game! What can I say? I defintely got lots of mom-of-the-year type treatment that day!
So we all know EA Sports for the innovative gaming features that they bring to video game play. Well, there are some uber-cool features about the all new NCAA Football 13. One of them is the option to add a former Heisman trophy winner to your team lineup! I will say, I was disappointed that former Texas Heisman greats like Ricky Williams and Earl Campbell weren't part of the lineup, but it's still a cool feature nonetheless. My husband really gets into that whole aspect of having a former Heisman great on his team and enjoys talking to our sons about what the Heisman actually is and what kind of prestige comes along with such an honor.
My kids also enjoy the "mascot mashup" mode on the game where they had Bevo going head-to-heat with Miami Hurricane's mascot, Sebastian the Ibis on the field! It was pure hilarity in my living room! I love that about this game – the fact that the whole family gets into the excitement and fun of having the video game as part of a family game night! It's a unique opportunity for us to teach our kids about the fundamental game of football and encourage healthy rivalries and good sportsmanship.
One of the other great things your video game and football fan will love about NCAA Football 13 is the introduction of "Dynamic Dynasty". This takes recruiting a step further with dynamic recruiting pitches. For the first time ever, your recruiting grades can change each week based on your performance in Dynasty mode. It's amazing how advanced and "with-it" this new version of NCAA Football is! My little video gamers wouldn't disagree!
I've saved the best tidbit of info for last.
